Hi folks i have 6 White Cloud Minnow Fish in my 25 litre tank trying to breed them i have been feeding them live frozen foods and i have marbles on bottom of tank , i have just noticed the odd fry in between the marbles, shouyld i take the adults out or will they eat them , or will they still spawn and wait for more eggs ?

THanks

If the adults are well fed, they usually leave the babies alone.
If you have lots of plants in the tank, it helps provide the babies with more hiding places.

update on this i did leave them after i seen a few fry in marbles
fed the parents but now im seeing none in tank thinking they may have eaten them

Folks i thought this would have been an easy spawn and baby frys but im afraid not happening,

would i be better off increasing the temperature of tank, i have marbles on floor of Aquarium , been feeding brine shrimp blood worms frozen etc ,

I would get some Java Moss ASAP, so they can hide.

I just had sand or gravel on the bottom of my tanks, and lots of plants. Then I scooped the babies out when I saw them.

How often are you feeding them?
If you want lots of babies to survive, feed the adults 3-5 times a day and do big regular water changes to keep the tank clean.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.
